<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3229579, member: 74968&quot;]Here is an interesting coin of Vespasian. It is the RIC II Part 1 reference coin. There are now 2 known. [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] owns the other one. What makes this coin interesting is that the portrait is bare headed. There is only one other left facing bare headed type for Vespasian and that is RIC 853.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]843049[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Vespasian (69-79). AR Denarius (18.08mm, 3.50g, 6h).
